1 – Gu Family’s Sorcerer (1)

Gu family’s minor worker. One

What is this? What the hell am I supposed to do with this… .

I was now in the middle of a noisy marketplace.

I slowly raised my head and looked up at the sky.

Looking at the sun in the sky without a single cloud in sight, my eyes naturally frowned.

The sun I hadn’t seen in a long time was very dazzling.

Crowds of people passing by and many street vendors stand out.

Somewhere steamed dumplings were full of steam and delicious smell.

The voices of vendors selling something are high, and the small voices of the crowd watching what is so enjoyable mix together and are heard even louder than that.

In the distant past, the market in the area where he lived as a child was just like this.

How long has it been since I’ve seen such a lively marketplace? It’s probably something you haven’t seen in decades.

‘Is it a dream?’

I obviously had a heart attack and died.

So what kind of situation is this?

Is it a brief illusion that is shown after death? Did I unknowingly yearn for such a peaceful past?

I might have longed for such an ordinary thing because my life was pitiful.

“It’s funny.”

I was taken aback by the spit out words. words were coming out. It was only natural that he couldn’t speak after the neck injury.

But that alone wasn’t surprising.

The voice is thin and high. It sounded like the voice of a young boy. Only then did I examine the immaculate hand without a single scar.

Thin and thin, it seemed far short of an adult male hand.

My field of vision also feels at least an inch lower than usual. I was definitely a child’s body now.

“Is it a memory from childhood?”

If so, when will it be? Rarely had he been so free in the marketplace.

Looking around, I notice a young man looking around with a worried expression.

If I remember correctly, the author must have been my escort.

And, the first time I met him was when he secretly came out like this.

I stumbled across the market recklessly like this.

There was a child who greeted me badly when he saw me for the first time, saying that he met someone his age by chance while walking on the street.

He had stuffed a bunch of hot potatoes into a gourd that looked bigger than his head, where he had gotten it, and thrust it at me.

“Do you want to be a muggle?”

just like now

“yes?”

Without realizing it, someone was talking to me.

It’s embarrassing that even this has been reproduced.

What did I say at this time?

‘Know who I am and dare to push this thing!’

Perhaps this was my answer.

Or maybe I should have said more. I don’t know if it was just the child’s dirty clothes or if he didn’t like the potato he was holding.

In fact, I must have been immature and immature. What more excuses did you need?

If I had known who that child was, if I had known the future story in advance, wouldn’t I have done that?

In fact, I’m not very sure. Because I was so stubborn and immature.

“uh… uh… Potatoes… . no?”

The child hesitantly looks at me when I do not respond.

There was a lot of dirt on his clothes, no matter where he had been rolling around like that.

Not only that, but the hair that had been grown and not properly groomed was covering the entire face.

If you look at it wrong, you might think it’s a beggar’s child. Seeing that, I laughed.

“… Seeing you show this kind of thing left a lot of regrets.”

“Uh?”

The child tilts his head at my self-talk.

Can I really get rid of one of my regrets with this fantasy?

‘It can’t be.’

Nevertheless, I took a potato out of the child’s gourd.

The child smiled brightly as he saw me take out the potatoes.

One front tooth had a hole where it should have been.

I said looking at the child’s smile.

“Thank you, I will eat well.”

It was definitely different from what I remember back then.

“Ugh… ! That’s our installment, can, can!”

After answering vigorously, he took a potato from the gourd and stuffed it into his mouth.

I also took a bite of potatoes along the aisle.

The problem was that the potatoes were steaming, so they were extremely hot.

It was a strange sense of difference.

‘It’s a dream, but it’s hot?’

Can you? Or is it just because it’s a very realistic dream?

In the meantime, the potato was so hot that I couldn’t do anything.

“Ahahahaha! My face is red!”

The child laughs again, wondering if it’s fun for me to struggle.

The potatoes he ate must have been hot, but he managed to eat them casually.

After struggling for a while, I managed to swallow the whole potato, enduring the pain.

“Is it delicious?”

“yes… . delicious.”

It wasn’t a lie. Potatoes were definitely delicious.

I didn’t know why it tasted like a dream, but to my surprise, the potatoes were delicious.

As I eagerly ate the remaining potatoes in my hand, I saw a young man who appeared to be my escort approaching.

“young master… ?”

The approaching escort looked at the child in front of me and frowned.

Soon after, he naturally placed his left hand on the handle of the sword.

“Now who dares to… .”

“Do you have any medicine?”

“Yes?”

“Do you have any medicine?”

When I stopped talking, he put on a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, the escort said that he had medicine? there was a surprise

With a shy expression, the escort took out the medicine that he had wrapped in his pocket and handed it to me.

“Do you want to eat this?”

I handed the medicine candy I received from the escort to the child.

I couldn’t see his expression because of the hair covering his face, but I could see that the child was sufficiently surprised.

“Gee, really? Are you giving it to me!?”

“I gave you delicious potatoes, but this is all I have to give you.”

It was a childhood when I lived with sweet things in my mouth. Perhaps because of that, when even the escort stopped me from running amok, I would bite the medicine in my mouth like this.

To escort, I had to bring medicines… . He must have learned martial arts to do this, but he must have felt embarrassed and distressed.

‘Now that I think about it, I’m very sorry.’

Not knowing what I was thinking, the child accepts the medicine and jumps around.

Every time I ran vigorously, I was quite anxious that the potato would fall from the gourd in my arms.

“thanks! Try something like this for the first time!”

“yes? Do you have any more medicine?”

“… That was the end.”

I asked for more, but unfortunately it was the last one.

In the meantime, the escort was looking at me with surprised eyes, as if my behavior was very strange.

“What are you looking at?”

“no.”

The child put the gourd he was carrying in his arms on the ground and held it in his hand carefully in case the medicinal fruit might fall, and took a bite into his mouth.

When he cut down the medicinal fruit, his small shoulders trembled.

“You are so delicious… .”

“I’m sorry, I wanted to give you more, but that was the last one.”

I’m going to have a hard time with my words.

Is it okay or is it sad?

As a kid who used to eat potatoes the size of an adult’s fist in the blink of an eye, the medicine disappeared after a few bites.

I felt sorry for that, so there were tears in my eyes.

“Try this for the first time… .”

“I’m glad it was delicious.”

As if regretting it, he picked up the gourd again and ate the potato, but it didn’t look as satisfied as before.

Have you already grown accustomed to sweetness?

The child fidgeted and asked.

“Thank you, what is your name?”

Unlike when handing over a large potato, he looks quite shy.

Would it be more embarrassing to ask for a name?

“Guangchen, my name is Guangchen.”

I spat out my name again and again.

It’s been a long time since I’ve said it myself.

“Guyangcheon… .”

The child smiled shyly when he heard the name. Soon after, I try to say something with my mumbling mouth, but

Through a gap in the crowd, an old man appeared out of nowhere and embraced the child.

“Wow!”

“Oh, Grandpa!”

“Grandpa told me not to leave my hands unattended!”

He must have been surprised, but the child rather burrowed into the arms of the old man who embraced him.

Then, he smiles brightly at the old man who is about to get angry again.

“Wia is fine! You took good care of the potatoes too!”

The child proudly showed the old man the gourd bag he was holding in his arms.

Putting aside the still-steaming potatoes, the old man holds the child in his arms and looks at me with quivering eyes.

It’s like a frightened face.

It seemed that it was because of the clothes that were not suitable for the street, or that it was annoyed by the children of the noble family.

The old man speaks in a trembling voice.

“My granddaughter doesn’t know the world yet… . Have you ever done something that bothers you… .”

I know that the old man’s haggard figure and the miserable face of a small child who doesn’t even come to his chest are all acting.

That old man was a genius that even the current Murim lord could not dare to treat carelessly, and it was clear that he was a heavenly being above the sky of countless Murim people.

“Fine. Elderly. I was hungry at the time, but thankfully they handed me some potatoes, so I ate it.”

Maybe it was because he was talking unbecoming a child. The old man looked at me with slightly surprised eyes.

I wonder if I overdid it a bit, but what can I do, it must be a dream anyway.

“Since the only thing I could repay was a small piece of medicine… . It’s nothing compared to what I received, so I’m rather sorry.”

I took the gun as politely as possible with the horse.

Still the old man was speechless.

Unlike before, he just kept looking at me with slightly serious eyes. Did I not like something?

A small silence ensues between me and the old man in the middle of the noisy crowd.

It wasn’t long before it was the escort that broke the short silence.

“… Bocchan, it’s time to leave now.”

The escort was funny, but his words were calm, but his eyes could be seen shaking as if he didn’t understand the situation properly.

I listened and slowly relaxed.

“already?”

“Yes, if it is delayed further, I think it will arrive after the sun goes down.”

“Okay, then we should go back.”

When he turned his head and looked at the old man again, he was back with the same grim eyes as before.

“Senior, then I think I should go first.”

The old man tried to say something to my greeting, but the child spoke faster than he did.

“Go already… ?”

The child in the arms of the old man looked at me sadly, but it was just right.

The memories of the past that I tried to embellish even uglyly, and the stories I sometimes regretted recalling, ended up here.

‘I have to wake up from the dream now.’

I just had to do this.

Nothing if you ask what has changed. If you ask me if I feel relieved, it hasn’t changed at all.

He also had to come this far.

He smiled and said to the child while hiding his inner feelings.

“See you next time, the potatoes, again, were really good.”

When you lightly wave your hand, the child responds with a wide smile and open arms.

The old man kept bowing his head and repeatedly saying he was sorry, but since I knew his identity, that figure was more frightening.

The old man, who continued to apologize, soon disappeared through the crowd with the child in his arms.

“… It was cold.”

The old man’s name is Wihyo.

It is the symbol of the faction that put the sword into the heart of the black dragon sword that was trying to unite Sapa for the first time in the long and long history of Murim and devour the land of Sacheon.

Until several decades ago, he was a person who was feared and feared by the people of Sapa, sitting in the position of leader of the Murim League.

In addition, another word for the old man is geomjon (劍尊).

The old man disappeared as soon as he handed over the position of leader of the Murim League.

I don’t know how he’s raising a child with such an unattractive appearance here.

In the first place, no one would have predicted that such a shabby old man would be one of the three respected people in the world.

After looking at the place where the old man disappeared for a long time, I turned my back at the escort’s urging.

The problem is that it doesn’t matter if he is a swordsman or not.

The girl who waved her hand vigorously at me while being held in the arms of the Sword Master kept getting stepped on in my eyes.

The way he smiled while handing over potatoes and the way he was happy as if he had the world in one pill.

It was a completely different look from her appearance when she slashed the devil with cold eyes and finally cut off the head of the heavenly horse.

New Sword Wisul.

The child was none other than her.

This was the first meeting between me and Wi Seol-ah.

Of course, in my memory, we didn’t break up like this.

In the past, he threw away a gourd with potatoes while spitting out abusive language.

I left after laughing at the young Wiseol-ah, who was hurt and shed tears.

It was such a mean heart to cover up for lack of iron.

“… Now I have to go too.”

I want to see something like this until the moment I die.

Even that was decorated in a self-satisfying way, so there will be no regrets.

I’m not sure myself, but I should have been.

“Yes, you must return.”

I smiled bitterly at the escort’s answer. I must have heard what I said to go home.

In fact, I wasn’t even sure where to go to get to the house.

‘Anyway, why aren’t you waking up?’

It seems like you’ve done everything, so shouldn’t it be an illusion, a dream, and wake up? Somehow it felt very long.

“young master? You shouldn’t go there.”

As I was chasing after the hazy memories, I kept falling into the wrong path.

Each time, I headed home using the escort’s point as a guide.

‘I don’t know. It will be over soon.’

I had already prepared my mind, but I resented the dream that the situation would not end, but there was no way.

Desperately, I just surrendered to the flow. I thought it would be over soon anyway.

It was only after a few days that I realized it belatedly.

“… Shiva, why doesn’t this end?”

That the situation I was going through was not a dream.
